Chapter 1300

When Xiao Xiao Changkun was running his legs off following Han Han Meiqing by the river, Ye Chen was only a few kilometers away from the Song family's manor located in the far suburbs of Jin Ling.

At this time, in the banquet hall of the Song family manor, the Ito family father and daughter, as well as Ito Emi and Tanaka Koichi, were chatting and laughing with Old Master Song, accompanied by Song Wanting.

Although the cooperation between the Song family and Nippon Steel relied on Ye Chen curing the chairman of Nippon Steel, Watanabe Shingo, it also owed a lot to Ito Takehiko for bridging the gap.

Moreover, after Song Wanting had an accident in Japan and was saved by Ye Chen, it also owed a lot to the care of the Ito family.

Therefore, Old Master Song was very polite to these guests from the Ito family.

As for Ito Nanako, she was busy chatting with Song Wanting about women's secrets. The two kept whispering to each other and often couldn't help laughing out loud, looking like good sisters.

And the Akita dog brought by Ito Nanako was lying obediently at her feet, staring with a pair of round eyes, looking around curiously.

Just then, Qin Gang brought his father and daughter, Qin Qin Aoxue, to the Song family one step ahead of Ye Chen.

As soon as the father and daughter entered the banquet hall, Song Wanting hurriedly stood up and waved to Qin Qin Aoxue, saying: "Qin Aoxue, come over quickly!"

Seeing Song Wanting and Ito Nanako, Qin Qin Aoxue hurriedly waved to them as well.

Seeing Ito Nanako, Qin Qin Aoxue still felt a bit embarrassed in her heart. After all, in the previous competition, she had inadvertently hurt Ito Nanako very badly. Plus, her original strength was much weaker than Ito Nanako's, and she had achieved a comeback by relying on Ye Chen's pills, so she felt even more ashamed in her heart.

Immediately after, she saw the Akita dog lying at Ito Nanako's feet and was instantly attracted by the puppy's silly and cute appearance, screaming: "Wow! Is that Momotaro?! My god, it's really too cute!!!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly ran over.

Her shout attracted everyone else's attention.

Qin Gang felt a bit embarrassed all of a sudden and said to Old Master Song and the others from the Ito family: "Sorry everyone, this girl has no manners on weekdays and is always making a fuss..."

After saying this, he was just about to go and scold Qin Qin Aoxue, but Qin Qin Aoxue had already run to the Akita dog, squatted down, and reached out to tease the dog.

Qin Gang shook his head helplessly, and Old Master Song said with a smile at this time: "President Qin, come over and sit. Let me introduce you to Mr. Ito from the Ito family in Japan."

Qin Gang hurriedly walked up, shook hands with everyone from the Ito family one by one, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry just now. My daughter likes to tease cats and dogs all day long. I hope everyone will bear with her."

Ito Takehiko laughed: "President Qin, don't be so polite. Little girls are all like this. Your Qin Aoxue and our Nanako are about the same age. Although they are both in their early twenties, they are still little girls at heart. I understand this state better than anyone."

Qin Gang nodded and laughed: "Indeed, the children of our two families are about the same age, and they both love martial arts. Sigh, sometimes I worry. You say this little girl doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but just likes dancing with knives and guns. She kicks sandbags at home every day, kicking two of them to pieces in a week. You say, can you stand this..."

Ito Takehiko chuckled and said: "I used to like to manage my child, not only letting her practice martial arts but also letting her learn piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and even tea ceremony and flower arrangement, always thinking of cultivating her into a true lady of a great family."

Having said this, Ito Takehiko sighed and added: "But I've figured it out now. As long as the child lives happily and doesn't go astray, that's enough. As for the rest, let her explore it herself."

"Yes." Qin Gang nodded and smiled, saying: "I can't manage her now either, so I'm too lazy to manage her."

Here, Qin Qin Aoxue's attention was almost entirely attracted by that Akita dog.

While stroking the Akita dog's head, she looked at Ito Nanako with full expectation and asked: "Nanako, is this dog really a gift for me?"

"Yeah!" Ito Nanako nodded and smiled, saying seriously: "His name is Momotaro, he's a little boy. Although he's a boy, his temper is very obedient and gentle. I'll leave him to your care in the future, Qin Aoxue!"

Qin Qin Aoxue was extremely excited and said gratefully: "Nanako, thank you so much!"

Ito Nanako laughed: "We are all friends, why are you being so polite?"

Qin Qin Aoxue said with a blushing face: "I... I'm embarrassed... I hurt you so badly in the competition before, and I haven't had a chance to say sorry to you yet..."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said: "Since it's a competition, there will definitely be winners and losers, and people will get hurt. Everyone is competing fairly, so there's no such thing as an apology. You must not take it to heart."

Qin Qin Aoxue said shyly: "But... but... but I was... I was..."

Suddenly, Qin Qin Aoxue didn't know how to explain.

After struggling for a moment, she gritted her teeth and blurted out: "But I didn't win against you with my own ability at that time. I relied entirely on Master Ye's help... So in the final analysis, that competition was me winning unfairly..."

Ito Nanako smiled slightly and said seriously: "Qin Aoxue, everyone has different encounters. It's like some people master more advanced fighting techniques, while others master better ways to strengthen their bodies. So there's no such thing as winning unfairly. Besides, thanks to you hurting me, Master Ye would care about helping me cure my injury. It was precisely because of Master Ye's care that I and our entire family were saved by Master Ye. In the final analysis, I'm too late to thank you..."

"Ah?!" Qin Qin Aoxue asked in astonishment: "There's such a thing?!"

Ito Nanako nodded: "It sounds very outrageous, but the fact is indeed so. If Master Ye hadn't specifically gone to Kyoto to treat my injury, I would have been a dead person by now."

Song Wanting, who was on the side, heard this and suddenly felt a bit sour in her heart.

Before meeting Ito Nanako, she thought she was the only woman Ye Chen would travel thousands of miles to rescue.

But facts proved that Ye Chen was the same to Ito Nanako.

While sighing with emotion, Song Wanting also came to her senses and couldn't help but remind herself in her heart: "Song Wanting, Song Wanting, how can you be jealous of a little girl... After all, Master Ye is a married man. His sweetheart is Xiao Xiao Churan, not Ito Nanako, and not you, Song Wanting..."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart.

Ito Nanako, who was on the side, heard her sigh and hurriedly asked: "Sister Wanting, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly sigh? Are you in a bad mood?"

Song Wanting hurriedly waved her hand to deny: "No, no, I just thought about how I almost died in Japan back then, and it was also thanks to Master Ye's rescue, so I couldn't help but feel a bit emotional..."

Ito Nanako nodded with empathy.

The reason she got along very harmoniously with Song Wanting and regarded her as a sister from the bottom of her heart was because the two were too similar in many places.

Both were eldest daughters of great families, but both had encountered dangers of almost losing their lives more than once, and at the critical moment of life and death, both were saved by Ye Chen...

More importantly, Ito Nanako could see that Song Wanting, like herself, deeply loved Ye Chen in her heart...

Therefore, having such similar experiences made her feel a sense of mutual appreciation deep in her heart.
